*******************
These days, it seems like everyone is talking politics. If you find yourself relishing these conversations, this part-time job with NextWave Advocacy may be for you (or you can just share it with the person who hijacks every conversation and turns it to politics)! Hiring nationwide, PCs or Macs OK.
This is an independent contractor role that is NOT for people who are shy about calling strangers on the phone.
Please note that the work is project driven, so it may be really busy sometimes and quite slow at others.
Here’s what NextWave has to say about this opportunity:
“NextWave’s grassroots organizers call people across the country to discuss a political issue. When organizers find a supporter we call them “organizers” and help get them involved in the policy making process. Sometimes the advocates will participate in a letter-writing campaign or meet with a legislator. Other times, they will submit op-eds to their local newspapers or spread the word online.
Whatever the activities, organizers uncover each advocate’s personal story and prepare them to share it effectively.
There are plenty of reasons to contract as an Organizer with NextWave.
Independence: All grassroots organizers are independent contractors. Enjoy the freedom of project-based work and flexible self-scheduling.
Work-from-home convenience: Commute only to the home office you create. All you need are some basic computer equipment and a high-speed internet connection.
Variety: Each project is unique. The political issues vary widely, and campaigns may last a few days or a few months.
Work/life balance: Plan your work around the rest of your life. Use our online system to self-schedule 1-hour time blocks that work best for you.
Flexible hours: Available hours differ by project, but evening and Saturday hours are typically offered. Great for contractors who have other commitments during regular business hours.
Rapid start: Client demand varies, but our goal is always to put you on the next available project. Sometimes in as little as three days!
Helpful training: Access our self-guided training program. Gain personalized guidance from an experienced organizer before your first project. And get detailed information prior to each new campaign.
Worry-free invoicing: Our system tracks your hours while you work. We collect project fees from clients and issue payments to contractors on a weekly basis. The base rate is $12.00 per hour. Most contractors make an average hourly rate equivalent of $14 to $16 per hour when working 20 or more hours per week. High performers can earn up to $17.50 per hour.
Support: You’ll be an independent contractor, but you won’t go it alone. You’ll be a part of a project team with experienced leaders who will provide help when you need it.
